Upgrade path

9/14/2005

All softwares have their own upgrade path. A mature software will provide you very clear way that how you can do on your upgrading.

My previous colleague ask my opinion about the software developing project which I used to be part of the co-worker. Well, my opinion is I agree to provide a moe flexible way and more professional way that user can easier upgrade their software and configuration from old version to latest version. This is including upgrading to a newly-implemented localized version.

Imagine a German who can only live on the English software and try his best to read those unfriendly English strings. Now, there is a new German version. He will think about to upgrade to German version which is the most friendly stuff to him.

That's why I agree the way to upgrade to localized version should be provided. I wonder why some policymakers will make the decision that it's not provided!
